He is abovo a mean thiug. He inva des no secreta in the keeping of anotlier. He betroys no secrete coníided to his keeping. He neeer struts n borrowed plumage. He never takes selfish advantages of' our aristakes. He never stabs in tho df.rk. He is auhamed of inuendoes. Ho is oot one thing to a man'? face and stnother bchind his back. If by accident he comes io possession of lis neigbbor's eounseln, be pnsses opon theiu au net of oblivion. He beurs sealed packageg without tatupering with tbe wax. Papers not meaut for his eye, whether they fluttev at the window or iré opeu bofore bina iu uriiiiirde(t expo-sure, aro saered to hirn. He ODcroaobes on no privacy of olhurs, however the sentry uleeps. Bolts and bárs, looks and keyg, hedges and pickets, bor.ds nd Becurities, notices to trespassers, are none of' them for him. He in:y be trugted himself out of sight - ncar the thinnest piirtition - aoywhere. Hb buys no oíBee, lio sells none, he intrigues for none. - He would rather fail in hi rights thañ to vvin by dishonor. He will eat hopest bread. He insulte r,o man. Ho trarïipleg on no sfiDsitive feeling. íf lio fmve rebulce í@r aootlier, he is straight for ward, open and mauly. In whatever he judges honorable be practices toward every' man. A quser defense vvas recen tly made by i ottizeo on trial íor elanderng n New York Alderman. Tho defendunt stated tha. the a'derraan bad no character, and thereíbre slander would be iiupossible.
